Chinese character radicals possess decompositional and compositional properties. As a result, mastery of Chinese character radicals and academic achievement in the learning of Chinese characters are closely related. However, the current appearance of Chinese character radicals is the result of having gone through many diachronic evolutions, causing numerous misunderstandings of the meanings of Chinese character radicals. This has lead to misinterpretation of the composition of Chinese characters. This study will take the Chinese character radical ”口” as an example in order to clear1y present this situation and the consequences. This will serve the purpose of raising awareness among educators engaged in Chinese language teaching. |
